Abstract
The aim of this proposal is to analyse at the molecular level the evolution of a unique dual specificity recognition plant resistance disease gene, RPM1, both in the relatively simple Arabidopsis genome and the more genetically complex Brassica genomes. Furthermore we will utilise the high degree of synteny between these species to rapidly map and isolate Arabidopsis R specificities to economically important brassica pathogens. Finally mutagenesis studies will explore the feasibility characterising genes involved in more generalised non-host interactions.
